I hate how he makes us darker skinned brothers look like we ain’t shit. We’re always the cheating, wife-beating assholes. Then some oiled up Shamar Moore (pause) swoops in with no shirt on (pause again) and saves the day.

Sweet Baby Jeebus! Please tell me this a a Wayans Bros prank. I have covered for Perry as long as I can remember. I gave him the ol “yes his flicks are over-the-top-because-he’s-theater-playwright-by-trade-and-theater-almost-never-translates-to-film-well.”

If there is firm reason why minority’s never succeed, it is for the sole fact, whenever there is one that is successful, they are twice as many people attacking one’s success.

I really enjoyed this. Those 2 videos were hilarious.

The 4:40 area of that first video where she’s dying I lost it. I had never seen his stuff.

@ KG

That can be said for any race

bottom line is that his movies suck it doesn’t matter that he’s also black. There’s plenty of other black directors such as Spike Lee, John Singleton, Ice Cube and the Hughes Brothers as well as some others that are respected because they don’t make foolishness and coonery driven films.

I like that he puts on his fellow black actors and actresses in his films but that doesn’t make the movies not terrible. He got something for Precious but that was because everyone felt sorry for the big girl and in reality that was the most depressing movie of the last decade along with 7 Pounds.

I will be that crab in the barrell. I can not and will not support this shit. He has created an empire by creating these plays for people who want to go to Broadway and hear some slamming O’Jays songs. And good for him; but just because he’s a brother don’t mean I got to support it.

i hate everything tyler perry does. in my opinion all he does is reinforce black stereotypes. that god damn meet the brown’s show is just absolute ignorance on cable

By: SAB

01.21.2011 @ 2:44 PM

U all sound so ignorant!!!!!! Ur just envious of hiz success, & half of yall r probably broke & on food stamps!!!!! Ur pitiful, & if he’s gay who cares!!!!!! Get a life!!!!!

Yes the majority of the people who commented are the ignorant ones because we don’t spell his ‘hiz’. We are the pitiful because we realized that this isn’t twitter and the comments don’t have a 140 character limit. The only thing you got right in your silly comment is his sexual preference does not matter. He would be making wack ass yet very profitable chitlin circuit plays and movies if he were straight. The only difference 80% of the pretty boys in Black Hollywood wouldn’t have jobs.

@ yodaddy: He got something for Precious because he was executive producer. Because of the hype and stigma surrounding Perry, the name Lee Daniels will go unnoticed.

As far as his shows go, I will only watch for 3 reasons: the chick who plays Janine, Denise Boutte and Logan Browning. The man knows how to cast some chicks, impossibly fit dudes notwithstanding.

in my opinion, let me make that very clear, tyler perry IS uncle ruckus. he seems to just be trying to bring his own race down. i find no redeeming qualities in his films that cant be found in any other film.

By: MDUBB

01.23.2011 @ 7:17 PM

Dude makes family movies. How is that not redeeming? I can sit in the room with everyone in my multi-generational family and watch a film. I can’t do that with Spike, John, or Hughes Brothers films, even though I like there films too.

Maybe I’m the only in here with a family, or maybe I’m the only hip-hop fan who openly proclaims himself as a Christian in here. Either way, this is sad to me how folks can talk noise about someone trying to do something positive with themselves. I can’t really call it anything other than envy.

Put some multi-grands in your hands, I bet most of you’d be putting your whole family in dresses to collect the check, get real.

i’m gonna ignore the blatant misuse of “minority” here and understand that you’re trying to say that we’re the reason for the prejudice against ourselves. .

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE DUDE

if anything is setting us back it’s fat ass bald niggas in multicolor golf pants harlem shaking on tbs and a grown ass man trying to spread his gospel through a grown ass man-woman thing.

keeping it real doesn’t perpetuate prejudice. koonery does

Tyler Perry has had some good films as well as some that some may feel did not show us in the proper image: But these are All ENTERTAINMENT!! Instead of critizing movies, get out there and preach to the Thugs out in the street making us look like lazy, no good–looking for fast money hoods.The movies are for entertainment but his success is a lesson to study. I don’t need a movie to tell me how I should carry myself, I look at positive examples in everyday REAL life!!

David is a punk ass hater along with the rest of these broke ass niggas. Perry’s got the $$$$$$$ and that’s the name of the game. So, shut the hell up and think of something else to complain about.

By: Gia

01.24.2011 @ 5:35 PM

Thank God for freedom of speech, for those who want to watch his movies and support him, continue; for those who don’t, don’t. He is still cashing his checks without you!!!!!!

What is it with you good crab ina bucket azz wish you were him super-suckerskers. Either watch it or don’t. Go watch some lilly white crap that don’t have no Black people workin in, around, or thru it.

By: Rerah365

01.24.2011 @ 7:17 PM

Great I love everything he does can’t wait to see this the play was so good it was the first play I seen & I own all his dvd’s

WOW Why am I not surprised? So many haters. Do you really have to share your envy, with the public? What are you doing to employ and/or entertain the masses? You are not required to watch or listen to TP’s work. You choose/chose to do so. If, it is so distasteful to you, stop. Get your own or at least watch and listen to people you do like. Be difference. Do something productive.

Collectively the dumbest race of people on the face of the earth. Willie Lynch is turning over in his grave. Braindead black folks defending Perrys buffonary of blackfolks and justify why hes laughing all the way to the bank, while the assholes neighborhoods are falling to the ground. They took Amos & Andy off tv because blacks didnt want to be stereotyped, but the networks will keep Meet the Browns on tv until a comet hit this earth, because blackfolks think that repulsiveness is funny. And as long as a black is making money, regardless of how much he makes his own people look like a bunch of primates thats all that is important. What the hell is going on?

By: MDUBB

01.24.2011 @ 10:16 PM

Are you kidding me? There is so much repulsive content on TV it would be foolish to paint it as a exclusive black issue. With that being said have you ever watched the damn show?

There’s a black family that adopted two black/multi racial children.
The father is a doctor, the wife is PA. Brown’s daughter is a teacher. Brown is a business man in his own right owning a home and renting out the rooms to people that need help. That’s some pretty positive stuff, and there’s only one comic relief character among the multitude.

Ninjas chewing on chew sticks to the point they have splinters in there brains.

Once again as a hip-hop fan since way back, I’m not foolish enough to blame Tyler Perry for setting blacks back a few decades, when even my favorite rappers are vulgar, violent, misogynistic, racist and homophobic. Most of yall will never see that though, yet you think your part of the 5 percent of poor righteous teachers.

I’m a smarter black man than that bruh.

Tyler Perry doesn’t have to explain him/herself to anyone. So what if he is gay or just plain happy to be not poor. What difference does it make. It’s hard to not love a black person when they get rich doing something that they love to do and get paid for doing it.

01.25.2011 @ 2:17 AM

You all are being way too critical of the this man. What comedian have you ever seen that did not use the work of others in his/her material? So what if he made a Godfather-like poster. It does not take anything away from the Godfather movie, just like the Godfather is not going to add anything to Tyler Perry’s movie. As far as him “ruining everything we love about The Bible,” if you truly love the Bible, no one can ruin that for you. Its comedy people… comedy geared towards a different audience than traditional comedy… comedy that has made this man a multi-millionaire… comedy that, whether you like it or not, keeps his name in your mouth. I say, keep giving them what they paying for Tyler Perry… you’re the man & the woman!!!

Don’t be a hater, I love everything he has done, he is just given the black version, instead of us always watching the white version. do you conplain when white people make fun of us?

WEll all I have to say is “to each his own if you don’t like Tyler’s movie just don’t go see them nobody’s going to miss you or force you to go see them I for one am poor but I’m not hating on anyone because of thier sexual prefrence,if indeed it is true he is gay I don’t care
it’s not my business you may not beleive this but there is a God and I am sure he will handle his children in his own way in his own time
God Bless
